The Life and Tragic Death of Steve Irwin | Biography | Well, I Never Stars

Sadly, at the peak of his powers Irwin would be tragically struck down while filming an episode of his popular TV show.

We've all heard of the Twilight Zone. The Iconic series would have an ill-fated movie spin-off in the 1980's. An accident on set leading to the death of the actor Vic Morrow and two children. The Twilight Zone was a trail blazing sci-fi series created by the legendary writer Rod Serling. It was a world away from anything on TV at the time with the airwaves choked with shoot-em-up Westerns and a...

    I sincerely hope that Alan was there to greet her......with an infinite number of critters. Rose was so like my Grandmother. She was a delightfully silly woman. Betty White saying "If I had a dick, this is where I would tell you to suck it" in the movie Lake Placid is by far my favorite movie line ever.

    I am sure that when I saw Twilight zone the movie years ago there was a scene with Vic holding the two children in the river with a helicopter flying overhead (but apparently it wasn't included in the final film) did I dream it? .. or did I enter the Twilight Zone?

    I never met him, but a guy I knew was working at Wildlife Images in Grant's Pass. Oregon, when the Irwins filmed there to raise money for it. I asked if he could get a couple of autographs for my kids. Mr. Irwin drew them both pictures and personalized them to my kids. The guy said he was the nicest. Most down to earth celebrity he ever met.

    Betty White was okay, but there were quite a few others who many found even funnier: Ann Sothern, Lucille Ball, Gertrude Berg, Joan Davis, Gale Storm, Spring Byington, Eve Arden, Verna Felton, Ann B. Davis, Marion Lorne, Edie Adams, Jayne Meadowes -- etc. As for as production powerhouses, Lucy fired up Desi -- she was the real power behind Desi's throne, which was to be expected since he had been a poor immigrant who more or less stumbled into movies, from his career as a nightclub singer and musician. Lucy was a dynamo in real life, ironic since her Lucy Ricardo character was always trying, without luck, to break into show business, which did sort of support the current stereotype of women at that time -- as for Betty White, I lived through that entire era and I never heard of Betty White until she played Sue Ann Nivens on THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW in the 70s and then, of course, THE GOLDEN GIRLS. If her show was ever shown on any Phoenix stations, I certainly never saw even one episode. Of course for the 50s we in Phoenix only had 3 channels until the end of the decade -- when another station started up......lucky us.......

    Anyone who thinks there's no possibility of coke being involved, maybe you've never had coke... not making excuses at all, f*** John Landis absolutely today and forever, and I'm not saying I know for sure either but this just seems like some unhinged coke ego shit left unchecked. Either way, coke or no coke, this was his responsibility. F***ing terrible man.

    It is so bizarre and heart stopping as to the timing of the actual accident. Morrow and the children were in the precise spot to be killed when the copter blade came down. Had Morrow been two feet behind that point or two feet in front, the three of them would've probably survived. I was so saddened by this. Horrible, horrible thing.

    In his final movie he plays a Jesus Christ like figure that encourages that one Woman in the movie to stop doping up. If there ever was a movie an actor with morals had to chose and if it was going to be their last. This is it and that's why there's conspiracy theories about him actually be alive but sadly he is not. He passed away on set because of an Alec Baldwin like Production company. People always make conspiracy theories about about Actors and celebrities being alive after something tragic happens.

    On March 31, 1993, at EUE Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, North Carolina, Lee was filming a scene where his character, Eric, is shot after witnessing the beating and rape of his fiancée. Actor Michael Massee's character Funboy fires a .44 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 629 revolver at Lee as he walks into the room. A scene filmed two weeks before Lee's had called for the same gun to be shown in close-up. Revolvers often use dummy cartridges fitted with bullets, but no powder or primer, during close-ups as they look more realistic than blank rounds which have no bullet. Instead of purchasing commercial dummy cartridges, the film's prop crew, hampered by time and money constraints, created their own by pulling the bullets from live rounds, dumping the powder charge but not the primer, then reinserting the bullets. Witnesses reported that two weeks before Lee's death they saw an unsupervised actor pulling the trigger on the gun while it was loaded with the powderless but primed round. Having not removed the primer, the primer could detonate with enough energy to launch a bullet and lodge it in the barrel. In the fatal scene, which called for the revolver to be actually fired at Lee from a distance of 12-15 feet, the dummy cartridges were exchanged for blank rounds, which feature a live powder charge and primer, but no bullet, thus allowing the gun to be fired without the risk of an actual projectile. As the production company had sent the firearms specialist home early, responsibility for the guns was given to a prop assistant who was unaware of the rule for inspecting all firearms before and after any handling. Therefore, the barrel was not checked for obstructions when the time came to load it with the blank rounds. Since the bullet from the dummy round was already trapped in the barrel, this caused the .44 Magnum bullet to be fired out of the barrel with virtually the same force as if the gun had been loaded with a live round, and it struck Lee in the abdomen, mortally wounding him. After Lee's death, the producers were faced with the decision of whether or not to continue with the film. Lee had completed most of his scenes for the film and was scheduled to shoot for only three more days.[1] The rest of the cast and crew, except for Ernie Hudson, whose brother-in-law had just died, stayed in Wilmington. Paramount Pictures, which was initially interested in distributing The Crow theatrically (originally a direct-to-video feature), opted out of involvement due to delays in filming and some controversy over the violent content being inappropriate given Lee's death. However, Miramax picked it up with the intention of releasing it in theatres and injected a further $8 million to complete the production, taking its budget to approximately $23 million. The cast and crew then took a break for script rewrites of the flashback scenes that had yet to be completed. The script was rewritten by Walon Green, Terry Hayes, René Balcer, and Michael S. Chernuchin, adding narration and new scenes. Lee's stunt double Chad Stahelski was used as a stand-in and digital face replacement was used to superimpose Lee's face onto the head of the double. The beginning of the movie, which had not been finished, was rewritten, and the apartment scene remade using computer graphics from an earlier scene of Lee. A character from the original comic book called Skull Cowboy was originally planned to be part of the adaptation and even had scenes filmed. He acted as a guide for Eric Draven between the worlds of the dead and the living. He was set to be played by Michael Berryman, but the role was cut from the film due to Lee's death. O'Barr later remarked that losing Lee was like losing his fiancée all over again, and he regretted ever writing the comic in the first place.

    The image of Landis walking out of court at 14:22 really says it all. No remorse. Not even an ounce of it. Three lives, needlessly, perversely wasted. And Landis continues to sleep well at night. Not a fan. Never was even before this. Landis' ego exceeded his talent. His absolutely lack of empathy here, for a situation he created, is obscene!
